Another warm day Wednesday, more clouds move in
High temperatures today reached 40 degrees in Alpena, 39 degrees in Grand Rapids, Michigan and 41 degrees in Traverse City, Michigan. Strong winds from the southwest brought warmer temperatures into northern Michigan. Temperatures will be similarly warm Wednesday afternoon, before some cooler temperatures arrive later in the week.
Many places throughout Northern Michigan have seen periods of sunshine Wednesday. Cloud cover continues to increase, first for places north of M-32 and then spreading toward the southeast later tonight. We will see more clouds around Wednesday because of an incoming cold front with a fairly weak low pressure system north of Lake Superior. This cold front will move through our area, shifting winds out of the north-northwest for Wednesday. Cooler temperatures will arrive going into Wednesday night and Thursday.
High temperatures Wednesday afternoon will get close to 40 degrees. Temperatures will become cooler for Thursday with highs reaching only the upper 20s. Friday, highs will climb to the middle 30s and temperatures will also reach highs in the middle 30s Saturday. Beginning Sunday, winds out of the south will bring another round of warmer temperatures to Northeast Michigan.
